Samsung is moving without reducing its pace on Android updates. For the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy S24 Fe, the One UI 8 development process continues, and now two different models have been included in this process. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 models in the foldable segment have entered the test phase of the new user interface One UI 8.
The detection of the One UI 8 software on Samsung servers for these two devices shows that the update preparations officially start in the background. This development stands out as a remarkable detail for foldable phone owners. The software is not yet in the beta stage; Therefore, there is a longer process that should be expected for the stable version.
Samsung focuses on the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 models in one UI 8 development process
Both devices have already received one UI 7 version. This version was presented with Android 14 -based and distributed to many regions. Nevertheless, if some users haven’t received this update yet, they can manually control software updates from the Settings menu.
The fact that Samsung continues to updates for these two models reveals that the company’s support for old flagships continues. Fold 4 and Flip 4 have continued to receive large software packages at regular intervals since their release. In this respect, Samsung’s update policy is in a remarkable position in the Android ecosystem.
Considering that the One UI 8 is developed on Android 15 -based, it is estimated that this update will not be just a visual change. Safety optimizations, battery consumption management and personalization options are also expected to innovate innovations. Samsung attaches importance to improving software experience, especially on foldable devices.
It is known that the foldable form factor has its own needs. Software improvements in areas such as screen transitions, multiple window use and application optimization directly affect the device experience. The extent to which one UI 8 will respond to these needs is a matter of curiosity.
Although one UI 8 tests have started, the final version may take a few months for users to reach users. Samsung usually starts to distribute updates with the flagship S series. Then the updates of the foldable models are gradually offered.
For this reason, the last quarter of 2025 or 2026 is envisaged for the access to one UI 8 of Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 users. In this process, beta test programs can also be activated. In the main markets such as Türkiye, the test process usually starts with a delay for several weeks.
